ARTICLE II
  GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY

 

2.1  Board of Directors.

 

The Company, the CD&R Investors and the StepStone Investors hereby agree as follows:

 

(a)     Following the Listing Date, CD&R Fund VII shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate for nomination by the Board as Directors a number of designees equal to:  (i) at least a majority of the total number of Directors comprising the Board at such time as long as the CD&R Investors and their Affiliates collectively beneficially own at least 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; (ii) at least 40% of the total number of Directors comprising the Board at such time as long as the CD&R Investors and their Affiliates collectively beneficially own at least 40% but less than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; (iii) at least 30% of the total number of Directors comprising the Board at such time as long as the CD&R Investors and their Affiliates collectively beneficially own at least 30% but less than 40% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; (iv) at least 20% of the total number of Directors comprising the Board at such time as long as the CD&R Investors and their Affiliates collectively beneficially own at least 20% but less than 30% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; and (v) at least 5% of the total number of Directors comprising the Board at such time as long as the CD&R Investors and their Affiliates collectively beneficially own at least 5% but less than 20% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.  For purposes of calculating the number of CD&R Designees that CD&R Fund VII is entitled to designate for nomination pursuant to the formula outlined above, any fractional amounts would be rounded to the nearest whole number and the calculation would be made on a pro forma basis after taking into account any increase in the size of the Board.

 

(b)     Following the Listing Date, for as long as the StepStone Investors and their Affiliates collectively beneficially own at least 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, StepStone shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate one designee for nomination by the Board as Director.

 

(c)     If CD&R Fund VII has designated for nomination by the Board less than the total number of designees CD&R Fund VII shall be entitled to designate for nomination pursuant to Section 2.1(a), CD&R Fund VII shall have the right, at any time, to designate for nomination such additional designees to which it is entitled, in which case, the

 

4











 

Company and the Directors shall take all necessary corporation action, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law (including with respect to any fiduciary duties under Delaware law), to (x) enable CD&R Fund VII to designate for nomination and effect the election or appointment of such additional individuals, whether by increasing the size of the Board, or otherwise, and (y) to designate such additional individuals designated for nomination by CD&R Fund VII to fill such newly-created vacancies or to fill any other existing vacancies.  Each such individual whom CD&R Fund VII shall actually designate for nomination pursuant to this Section 2.1 and who is thereafter elected to the Board to serve as a Director shall be referred to herein as a “CD&R Designee.”

 

(d)     If StepStone has not designated for nomination by the Board the designee StepStone shall be entitled to designate for nomination pursuant to Section 2.1(b), StepStone shall have the right, at any time, to designate for nomination such designee, in which case, the Company and the Directors shall take all necessary corporation action, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law (including with respect to any fiduciary duties under Delaware law), to (x) enable StepStone to designate for nomination and effect the election or appointment of such additional individual, whether by increasing the size of the Board, or otherwise, and (y) to designate such additional individual designated for nomination by StepStone to fill such newly-created vacancy or to fill any other existing vacancies.  Such individual whom StepStone shall actually designate for nomination pursuant to this Section 2.1 and who is thereafter elected to the Board to serve as a Director shall be referred to herein as a “StepStone Designee.”

 

(e)     If a vacancy is created at any time by the death, retirement or resignation of any Director designated by CD&R Fund VII or StepStone pursuant to this Section 2.1, the remaining Directors and the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law (including with respect to any fiduciary duties under Delaware law), cause the vacancy created thereby to be filled by a new designee of CD&R Fund VII or StepStone, as the case may be, as soon as possible, and the Company hereby agrees to take, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law (including with respect to any fiduciary duties under Delaware law), at any time and from time to time, all actions necessary to accomplish the same.

 

(f)      The Company agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law (including with respect to any fiduciary duties under Delaware law), to include in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board for election at any meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing Directors the individuals designated pursuant to this Section 2.1 and to nominate and recommend each such individual to be elected as a Director as provided herein, and to solicit proxies or consents in favor thereof.  The Company is entitled to identify such individual as a Principal Investor Designee pursuant to this Agreement.

 

5











 

(g)     For so long as the CD&R Investors and their Affiliates collectively beneficially own at least 25% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, a CD&R Designee shall serve as the Chairman of the Board (“Chairman”).

 

(h)     Insofar as the Company is or becomes subject to requirements under Applicable Law or the regulations of any self-regulatory organization, including the NYSE or such other national securities exchange upon which the Common Stock is listed to which the Company is then subject, relating to the composition of the Board or committees thereof, their respective responsibilities or the qualifications of their respective members, each of the Principal Investors then entitled to designate for nomination members of the Board shall cooperate in good faith to select for nomination their respective designees to the Board under this Section 2.1 so as to permit the Company to comply with all such applicable requirements.

 

2.2  [Reserved].

 

2.3   [Reserved].

 

2.4  Voting Agreement.  Subject to Section 6.1(a), each of the Principal Investors agrees to vote, or act by written consent with respect to, any Voting Securities beneficially owned by such Principal Investor and shall take all other necessary or desirable actions within such Principal Investor’s control (including, but not limited to, attendance at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company in person or by proxy for purposes of obtaining a quorum), at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company at which Directors are to be elected, or to take all actions by written consent in lieu of any such meeting as are necessary to cause the Principal Investor Designees designated for nomination in accordance with Section 2.1 to be elected to the Board.  Each of the Principal Investors agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the election of each such designee to the Board, including nominating such individuals to be elected as members of the Board.  Upon the written request of CD&R Fund VII or StepStone, as applicable, each other Principal Investor shall vote, or act by written consent with respect to, all Voting Securities beneficially owned by such Principal Investor and otherwise take or cause to be taken any and all actions necessary to remove any Director designated by the requesting Principal Investor and to elect any replacement Director designated for nomination as provided in Section 2.1.  No Principal Investor shall take any action to cause the removal of any Director designated by any other Principal Investor unless requested to do so in writing by the Principal Investor that designated such Director.

 

2.5  [Reserved].

 

2.6  Information/Access.

 

(a)     Information.  Upon written request of any Principal Investor, for so long as such Principal Investor, together with the other members of its Principal Investor Group,

6.13        Severability.  Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without rendering invalid, illegal or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity, illegality or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles or rules of conflicts of law to the extent such principles or rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction).

Each party hereto acknowledges that money damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement are not performed in accordance with its terms, and it is therefore agreed that in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, the non-breaching party will have the right to an injunction, temporary restraining order or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof.  In the event that the Company or one or more Principal Investors shall file suit to enforce the covenants contained in this Agreement (or obtain any other remedy in respect of any breach thereof), the prevailing party in the suit shall be entitled to recover, in addition to all other damages to which it may be entitled, the costs incurred by such party in conducting the suit, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses.

 

6.20        Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including via facsimile or other electronic transmission), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
